Study summary

This single-center, single-arm, prospective clinical study aims to preliminarily evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ultra-minimally invasive prostatic dilation using a prostate dilation catheter under real-time transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guidance in male patients with significant bladder outlet obstruction secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

A total of 5 eligible male subjects aged 40 to 80 years with symptomatic BPH, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥13, maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) of 5-10 mL/s, prostate volume \<30 mL measured by TRUS, and evident bladder outlet obstruction will be enrolled. All subjects will undergo prostatic balloon dilation with the study device under real-time TRUS guidance. Follow-up assessments will be conducted at 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment.

The primary effectiveness endpoint is the change in IPSS from baseline at 1, 3, and 6 months. The primary safety endpoints include bladder neck contracture, retrograde ejaculation, device-related severe urinary retention persisting for more than 14 days after healing, new-onset stress urinary incontinence, device-related bleeding requiring transfusion, and device-related urethral or prostatic capsular rupture requiring surgical intervention.

Secondary endpoints include responder rates based on different thresholds of IPSS improvement (≥30%, ≥40%, and ≥50%), changes in Qmax, and changes in visual analogue scale (VAS) scores. Exploratory endpoints include changes in postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) and sexual function assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and the Male Sexual Health Questionnaire-Ejaculatory Dysfunction (MSHQ-EjD).

This exploratory study is intended to provide preliminary clinical evidence supporting the safety and potential clinical benefit of TRUS-guided ultra-minimally invasive prostatic dilation for BPH-related obstruction and to inform future larger-scale clinical studies.

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, single-arm, prospective exploratory clinical study designed to preliminarily evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ultra-minimally invasive prostatic dilation using a dedicated prostate dilation catheter under real-time transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guidance in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) associated with significant bladder outlet obstruction.

A total of 5 eligible male participants will be enrolled. Eligible subjects are 40 to 80 years of age, have moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms, an International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) of at least 13, a maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) between 5 and 10 mL/s, and a prostate volume less than 30 mL as measured by TRUS. All participants must have clinically confirmed BPH with significant bladder outlet obstruction and preserved sexual function. Key exclusion criteria include suspected or confirmed malignancy, severe urinary tract infection, bleeding tendency, neurogenic bladder, and other conditions considered unsuitable for the procedure.

After providing written informed consent, each participant will undergo ultra-minimally invasive prostatic dilation with the study device under real-time TRUS guidance. The procedure is intended to be performed in a minimally invasive setting without the need for general anesthesia. Follow-up evaluations will be conducted at 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment.

Efficacy assessments will focus on changes from baseline in IPSS at 1, 3, and 6 months after the procedure. Safety assessments will include the occurrence of adverse events such as bladder neck contracture, retrograde ejaculation, device-related prolonged urinary retention lasting more than 14 days after healing, stress urinary incontinence, bleeding requiring transfusion, and urethral or prostatic capsular rupture requiring surgical intervention. Secondary outcomes include responder rates based on different thresholds of IPSS improvement, changes in Qmax and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, and exploratory changes in postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) and sexual function parameters, including the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) and the Male Sexual Health Questionnaire-Ejaculatory Dysfunction (MSHQ-EjD).

This study is intended to generate preliminary clinical evidence regarding the safety and potential therapeutic benefit of TRUS-guided ultra-minimally invasive prostatic dilation for the treatment of BPH-related bladder outlet obstruction, and to support the design of future larger-scale clinical investigations.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male subjects aged 40 to 80 years with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and obvious bladder outlet obstruction.
  • Subjects with normal sexual life and a sexual partner, and with intact sexual function.
  • International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥ 13.
  • Maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) between 5 and 10 mL/s, with a minimum voided volume ≥ 150 mL.
  • Prostate volume measured by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) \< 30 mL. Prostate volume is calculated as length × width × height × 0.52.
  • Subjects who, in the investigator's opinion, are able to complete the study protocol.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects who are unable or unwilling to sign the form (ICF) and/or comply with all follow-up requirements.
  • Subjects who are unwilling to abstain from sexual activity or use protective sexual behavior within 90 days after treatment.
  • Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≥ 10 ng/mL, unless prostate cancer has been excluded by .
  • Confirmed or suspected prostate or bladder .
  • Use of antiplatelet drugs, such as clopidogrel or aspirin, within 10 days before surgery, or planned use within 5 days after surgery.
  • Use of medications within 3 months before surgery that, in the investigator's opinion, may affect sexual function.
  • Presence of neurogenic bladder or detrusor underactivity affecting bladder/sphincter function.
  • Patients with BPH complicated by acute urinary tract infection, acute prostatitis, or bacterial prostatitis.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in International Prostate Symptom Score from baseline to 3 months after treatment

    The International Prostate Symptom Score, or IPSS, will be used to evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The score ranges from 0 to 35, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. The change in IPSS from baseline to 3 months after treatment will be assessed.

    Time frame: Baseline and 3 months after treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in maximum urinary flow rate from baseline to 3 months after treatment

    Maximum urinary flow rate, or Qmax, will be measured by uroflowmetry. The change in Qmax from baseline to 3 months after treatment will be assessed. A higher Qmax indicates improved urinary flow.

    Time frame: Baseline and 3 months after treatment

  2. Incidence of treatment-related adverse events

    The incidence, severity, and relationship to the study procedure or device of adverse events will be recorded throughout the study. Adverse events may include hematuria, urinary tract infection, urinary retention, pain, dysuria, urethral injury, or other procedure-related complications.

    Time frame: From treatment to 3 months after treatment

Other outcomes

  1. Change in quality of life score from baseline to 3 months after treatment

    The quality of life score related to urinary symptoms will be assessed using the quality of life question of the International Prostate Symptom Score. The score ranges from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating worse quality of life. The change from baseline to 3 months after treatment will be evaluated.

    Time frame: Baseline and 3 months after treatment

Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 13, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
